Brethren,

I would like to report that we had a magnificent total of 114 people receive
or be refilled by the Holy Ghost on the Friday night of the Iowa family camp
held in Des Moines last week. The 114 does not include those who received
the holy ghost or were refilled on the other four nights. The Lord did a
mighty work and I think that it's safe to say that Iowa is having revival.
Praise the Lord!

I was interested to hear the message from Bro. Cunningham about Unity. He
was telling us that in Ethiopia, they don't pray for revival, but they pray
for unity and that revival is a product of unity not the reverse! This was a
wonderful confirmation for me as our church has been building unity and
noticing that "a rising tide raises all ships". Our visitor count is up, our
prayer meetings are more dynamic, our back-sliders are coming back, service
attendance is rising and our men's group activities are growing. All this
from seeking unity. You can be certain that I will continue to seek after
unity for my church, my district and all my brethren across the world. There
has never been a time where unity was more needed than this.

Bro. Simon
